It inspired me as a writer and still remains hugely inspirational.”—Kevin Kwan, author of Crazy Rich Asians\n\n“Brilliant.”—The Washington Post Book World\n“A jewel of a book.”—The New York Times Book Review\n“Amy Tan [is] a writer of dazzling talent.”—Chicago Tribune\n\nIn 1949, four Chinese women, recent immigrants to San Francisco, begin meeting to play mah jong, remember the past, and gossip into the night. United in unspeakable loss and new hope, they call themselves the Joy Luck Club.\n\nWith wit and sensitivity, Amy Tan examines the memories that display these women’s strength, worries, and determination. As each woman reveals her secrets, trying to unravel the truth about her life, the strings become more tangled, more entwined. Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of the matriarchal ties that they believe have stymied their ability to face the uncertainties of the future.\n\nIntimate and moving, The Joy Luck Club shows us how the inheritance of pain and unspoken secrets can lead to misunderstanding—and yet how love can still offer the promise of reconciliation.\n\nThis award-winning edition is part of the Penguin Orange Collection, a limited-run series of twelve influential and beloved American classics in a bold series design offering a modern take on the iconic Penguin paperback.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 014312949X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.014312949X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tan, Amy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
